id back new zealand to get the better of sri lanka. i think sri lankas batting line up may crumble under the pressure of the better bowling attacks like australias and new zealands.

Really outside Bond and Vettori and Kiwi bowling is not much more then serviceable. But Sri Lanka haven't truely dominated with the bat outside a couple gun innings by Jayasuriya. I still would back the boys to come good once the pressure on and its sudden death. Don't really think Australia have cemented a final spot yet, still get the feeling their bowling attack will fall apart when put under real pressure.

The man, the mountain, the Mathews. The greatest all rounder since Keith Miller. (Y)

(Yes SA lost to Bangladesh but most other performances bar Aus have been completely dominant scoring totals that other teams have not yet managed to achieve nad they look the goods to me. There bowling might be lacking a bit but there batting makes up for it.)
